Don't worry, he makes like 10 better IPAs than Ephraim. Also, he brewed it last fall too, I think...maybe just a six month wait!

Yeah, just wanna tick it, really. Have had Abner, Double Citra, Double Galaxy, S&S 4, S&S 5, S&S 6, Susan, all incredible, and Harlan (which sucks and is far and away my least favorite HF hoppy beer), so not exactly missing out on the HF IPAs, but Ephraim is ++ malt on all of those, yeah?

Just get yourself some more Double Sunshine. IMO they have similar qualities but I definitely find myself preferring DS.

Similar? Really? Kind of the opposite I've been told from people in the past. Ephraim is a "triple" IPA, no? I find Double Sunshine with almost no noticeable malt and just straight Citra to the face (which is awesome), and I thought Ephraim was same hop bill as Abner...

If you want to swing by after work today or tomorrow I can open a growler of it (from last Saturday).

Or I'll open it anyways

Tempting.................. Can't do tomorrow, don't THINK I can do tonight but lemme see... I have a growler of Coriolis from Saturday to drink.

tehzachatak if you want to swap the Coriolis (been wanting to try that one) for the Ephraim we could do that, and you could open it at your convenience. I'll be home at 5pm so just let me know if you need the address

Every IPA you listed before Harlan is BY FAR better than Ephraim, in my humble opinion.

Good to know!

But I think as a rule that triple IPAs are too overdone.

Yeah, I do too. Like I said, it's more of that I want to tick it than anything else - find it hard to believe it could be better than any of the ones I listed.

I feel like Everett sold out really quickly, does anyone remember what day it hit the shop this time?

Already sold out? ****! I'm going Friday, thought I'd get fresh Everett and BB Everett.. hopefully on for draft at least!

Yeah, and it looks like they just put Harlan on draft IIRC, maybe if something kicks before Fri, they'll put Everett on.

Dammit. Every ******* time I go up Harlan is on. I really don't like that beer Guess I will just have to be satisfied with the five other world class beers on draft.

not S&S6 but the rest yes

 

[bahnfire]

Why all the hate on Harlan??? I think it is great. Sure I prefer Susan as far as "single" IPAs go, but I'd never turn down a Harlan, poor guy!

I'll echo some of the other feelings that while Ephraim is very good, I prefer many of the other DIPAs (S&S 3,4,5,6,7, Double Galaxy, Abner).

Anyone else notice the Magnum Arthur's today???

wut

 

[Aaronthebarbarian]

I totally disagree with everyone, lol. Ephraim is by far my favorite beer of theirs. Just my two cents. Stuff was amazing last year at the anniversary fest.

Anyone else notice the Magnum Arthur's today???

errr?

 

[justforrazors]

Assuming said magnums were not for sale? If they were...iso? Will trade my whole cellar?

 

[Os]

Yeah, a few weeks ago I had a growler of Ephraim with a Double Sunshine the next day. They are both aggressive, hop-forward monsters. DS isn't just only Citra, there's a plethora of other hop varieties used in it, similar in its variety to Ephraim and Abner. Not saying the hop varietals are the same, but I don't think they're significantly different (too lazy to look it up right now). I'm not saying it's the same palate or even the same "level" of IPA, but I feel that they are quite a bit more similar than they are different. But that's just like, my opinion, man.

My babies are safe(one for me and one for my bro).

What was the cost?

 

[ASUBeer]

Magnum of Arthur = holy ****. Need one so bad. That's my favorite beer.

As for Ephraim, I thought it was like a really hoppy American barleywine. It was good but I wouldn't even put it in the same genre as other HF IPAs.

Seriously, Arthur magnums?!?!!!!
